PLL Episode 1x02 - The Jenna Thing

This episode shows us some background details about each of the girls and some of their secrets, particularly the Jenna thing. The girls are not really a group yet, but we see what their lives have been like living separately over the past year.

Clues from this Episode that Aria isA

All four of the girls are walking down the school hallway when Aria gets a text from A that says Dead Girls Walking -A. At the time she had her phone in her hand. If the text is for all of them, why does only Aria receive it (A sent a group text at the funeral), and did you notice that this is a different phone than she used last week? Since Aria had her phone in her hand when she received this, she could have easily been the one to send the text.

Aria is the only one of the girls who seems to want to reach out to Jenna, and she invites her to join them at their lunch table. Spencer, Hanna and Emily would prefer to avoid her like the plague. Aria knows that Jenna makes them feel uncomfortable. If you notice subtly Aria creates and controls the situation, something she will continue to do throughout the series. At the lunch table when the girls receive a text from A, Hanna and Jenna have their hands visible. Emily and Spencer have their hands under the table but their phones are visible on the table. Only Aria has both her hands under the table and no visible phone on the table.

Ella comes home with takeout dinner and Aria says she eat dinner with her parents tonight. Both Ella and Byron seem surprised, asking "You aren't going out tonight?" Their surprised tone implies that Aria has been going out alot lately and is not at home often. She isn't really hanging out with the girls that much yet, or Ezra either. So, what has Aria been doing while she has been out all of this time?

The song playing when Ezra picks up Aria in the rain and kisses her uses the words “Fresh pair of eyes.” This is a clue because this same phrase is mentioned later in season 2 (2x25) unmAsked, when Spencer says they need to look at the A evidence with "a fresh pair of eyes". There are some subtle clues circled in the photos as well.

As Aria walks out of an unknown building , there is hidden A in the wall behind her. Where has she been and what has she been up do?Aria's clothes also offer clues. two of the shirts she wore this episode are black horizontal stripes, like stereotypical prison clothing. She is also wearing an A necklace.
